Reds InsiderFrom news of the day to news of the weird, John Fay provides a glimpse of what it’s like to cover the Cincinnati Reds

John Fay has been the Reds beat writer for the Enquirer since 2001. Prior to that, he served in a variety of roles for the Enquirer: backup Reds writer, UC beat writer, backup Bengals writer and as a general assignment reporter. He is a Cincinnati native and a graduate of Elder High School and the University of Dayton.

whats great is that that top ten is just scratching the surface of the amount of depth we have in the minors. We are starting to see changes in that if we trade one any of our mlb guys we don't have to worry as much and hold back on a potential good trade because we don't know who we are going to have fill the void of the mlb guy we trade away. Krivsky is slowly but surely giving us a respectable farm system which seems to be on the way of becoming one of the top farm system within 2-4 years

John, What is our farm system ranked as a whole? Does BA rank top 100? If so, where does our top 10 rank? I have read that Cueto will go into next season as one of the highest ceiling prospects in the nation. It's nice to get national attention, but I'm not convinced until the Reds are ranked up there with the Rays, Angels, Rockies, farm systems.

JohnHave you heard any grumblings or whispers that the Reds are actually going to try to put some trades together or attempt to sign some free agents that aren't 40 years old, on the final chapter of a subpar career this GM Meeting? Or are we going to have to hear. "Patience is a virtue." and personally my favorite, "we want to win now, but winning takes time." God I thought last years A-Gon purchase was a quiet off season.
